Walkman by Budakid
The ever-inventive procurer of atmospheric electronic beauty Budakid strikes back with another glorious single for Exploited.
'Walkman' is captivating from the very first moment, where spine-tingling bleepy FX whirr over a shimmering hi-hat groove and filtered melodics. A funk-driven bassline melody slams in with the loose disco percussive groove, and in the distance a lush chord progression teases. In weaves a wavering, simple-yet-potent analog synth hook that phases and filters beautifully as pads gently sweep up. It's a heady, joyous affair, broken up by a beautiful breakdown where gated synths lead the way. A simply majestic composition.
With a previous release on Diynamic and new upcoming music on Moscoman's Disco Halal and Watergate Records, Budakid is surely an artist to watch.
For Budakid, AKA Kevin Huizing, making music is like the act of breathing. He simply could not live without it, or
imagine his life if music was inaccessible. The Dutch producer is overflowing with boundless creativity,
channelled into his craft, which he lovingly refers to as a hobby - to class it as work would remove the pleasure.
